This one seems to be goingaroundtheScienceBlogs, bunch, and, given the nature of the test and my having collected comics for over 30 years, there was no way I could pass it up. The results are, of course, utterly expected.

1. Get to rule a small Eastern European nation as absolute monarch
2. Army of Doom-bots to protect me and to be sent out as decoys
3. Get to dabble in magic and science
4. Lots of great technological toys to play with

Unfortunately, there are significant downsides to being Doom:

1. Three words; Horribly disfigured face.
2. It gets a bit smelly wearing the same armor all the time
3. Pesky Fantastic Four always getting in Doom’s business (which is to take over the word–I mean, to show the world why Doom, is its rightful ruler).

But let’s separate Doom from the Doom-bots. Can any of these Doom impostors, without reference to the Internet or other references, tell us the name of Victor von Doom’s father and what it was he did for a living? Or who was von Doom’s faithful retainer back in the early days? Or what is the vow that Doom made over his mother’s grave?

I too was Doomed by the test — though only with 64%, just above Apocalypse and Lex, guess I got to face it, I ain’t evil enough to make a Super Villain. (Has there ever been a SV whose ‘talent’ has been boring people to death or immobility?)
But what annoyed me is that I scored lowest (32%) for the one I would have ‘picked,’ Two-Face. At least for his original appearances in the 50s — yes, I bought them on the stands. In those pre-Marvel days he stood out as so different, embittered rather than evil, ruling his life by chance — but willing to ’tilt the odds.’ (When he tied Batman and Robin to a giant coin and flipped them, even I knew their weight would make the coin land with them on the underside, right on the spikes, if they didn’t think of something.)
Speaking of the ‘pre-Marvel’ days, I regret few of you had the chance to share the opportunity, after reading nothing but DC for years, of going to the stands and seeing — and buying — this new comic, #1 of the FANTASTIC FOUR.
